Modbury Plaza Hotel.

Went there with a group of 7 from work last night.

4 of us ordered the scotch fillet, 5 minutes after ordering a waitress comes out and says "sorry, we haven't had scotch fillet for a while, is rump ok?"

That was about the sum of it, it was "OK", infact the only other bloke there with us tried a couple of mouthfuls of it and just couldn't eat it, I'm glad I ordered medium/rare as mine would've been in the same boat, they did offer to replace his meal or not charge for it.

They serve their food on these massive plates and have the salad or veg on an additional rectangular plate, they looked a treat but it was too awkward as their table space is small.

The chicken schnitty and chicken camembert looked good and were by all reports and the place looks a treat but if I have to pay I wouldn't be returning.

Belgian Beer Cafe- work Christmas dinner.

Not terrible, but really just an overpriced pub. And really hard work getting a drink with the table service. With the exorbitant prices and company credit card on deck you'd have thought they'd milk it.

Has been for at least 4 years, well not Woolies, they don't own pubs any more but a part of the ALH/Endeavour group.
I've only been there once and the place was uncomfortably packed, someone I worked with has had a few meals there and raves about the food.

If you went back on Tuesday to pick up your wallet/glasses/phone/dirty hanky you would be forced to stay home and watch the test.
